Now a fast way to find your lost dog or cat when they escape from their yard or home. When you dog gets loose and starts to run in the neighborhood it's scary, they could get hit by a car, picked up by someone and never come home.
 

How to Find a Lost Dog with Technology

Technology has come to the pet world with the Tractive GPS Pet Tag. Not only can you your track and find your lost dog or cat when they run away from home, but you can keep track of your sporting dog's activities in the field, or where your furry friend is going when the pet sitter visits. (wonder if this would work on kids???)

When your dog runs away from home, escapes the backyard, or sneaks out of the door it is very scary for any pet owner. The danger of your pet wandering in the neighborhood and in the street makes everyone fear the worst. I know I've been there, I've seen Facebook postings of friends looking pleading for people to keep an eye out for their puppy who has run away.

Unfortunately many dogs who escape from the comfort of home never return. Although some are picked up by the humane society, or the animal control and brought to the animal shelter to await your call and ride home, most are not this lucky.

Some people, when they "find a nice dog" decide to keep them instead of looking for their real owner or family. Worse, some are hit by cars and are killed.

It's about time the pet industry has finely embraced technology when it comes to our pets. It seems so simple, but finally there is an electronic Pet Locator Tag with a GPS tracing system for your dog or cat.

The Smartphone GPS tracking function really comes in handy as you are driving around your neighborhood calling your dogs name. If you ever wondered what to do if you lost your pet don't these new pet products will take some of the worry out bringing your dog or cat home again.

I know what it's like to have my pets disappear, thankfully all of them came home safe and sound. But the first time it happened was twenty five years the night before I got married. My my black cat Kitty snuck out of my apartment and I spent an hour frantically calling her with tears in my eyes.

She eventually came running out of the woods and lived another twenty years, but it would have been a lot easier to go outside with my smart Android phone Ap and find her via tracking beacon.
